This IPv6 Test Lab Extension describes how to configure and demonstrate a DNS zone transfer over IPv6. You configure DC1 to allow a zone transfer for the corp.contoso.com domain to APP1’s IPv6 address, configure APP1 as a DNS server, configure the corp.contoso.com as a secondary domain from DC1’s IPv6 address, and then show the results of the zone transfer.
Note These instructions are designed for a working IPv6 test lab that has been configured based on the instructions in the Test Lab Guide: Demonstrate IPv6.
If you are running the IPv6 test lab in a virtual environment, you can create snapshots of the virtual machines (VMs) for all of the test lab computers before performing the following procedure.
Configuring and Demonstrating DNS Zone Transfers over IPv6 To configure DC1 to allow zone transfers to APP1’s IPv6 address:
To configure APP1 as a DNS server:
To create a secondary zone for corp.contoso.com on APP1 and demonstrate the zone transfer from DC1:
If you are running the IPv6 test lab in a virtual environment, you can discard the changes made by these procedures by restoring the previously made snapshots of the VMs for all of the computers in the test lab. Alternately, if you would like return to this working configuration using IPv6-only, you can create a new set of snapshots before restoring the previously made snapshots.
To manually restore the configuration of the IPv6 test lab, perform the following procedure.
Restoring the IPv6 Test Lab
You can discard the changes made by these procedures by restoring the previously made snapshots of the VMs for all of the computers in the test lab. To manually restore the configuration of the IPv6 test lab, perform the following procedure.
